This month marks the 25th anniversary of Aintree Plastics, after our company started trading in November 1995.
We would like to thank all our customers for their loyalty and support over the years, and for putting their trust in us to produce and deliver their orders.
We would also like to pay tribute to all our staff that have contributed to our success over the past 25 years. We have an experienced and technically qualified workforce who are experts in the industry, and we wouldn’t be where we are today without them.
“We are really proud and excited to be celebrating our 25th Anniversary. There have been many changes to our company over the last 25 years but I would like to think that our main principles of being dedicated to the supply of a quality product, coupled with excellent customer service, is still evident and will be for the next 25 years and beyond.”
David Millar, Managing Director
